The National Football League suspended free-agents CB Brandon McDonald (Buccaneers) and SS Tom Zbikowski (Bears) Tuesday, Sept. 10. McDonald was suspended two games for violating the league's personal conduct policy, while Zbikowski was suspended four weeks for violating the policy on performance-enhancing substances. The suspensions will run while they're both free agents, meaning McDonald is eligible to sign with a team in Week 4, while Zbikowski can return in Week 6.

Indianapolis Colts FS Tom Zbikowski (knee) said he expects to be ready to play in the AFC Wild Card game Sunday, Jan. 6, against the Baltimore Ravens, his former team. Officially, he is listed as questionable. "I feel good," Zbikowski said. "I had a good week this week and today was probably the first time in a long time that I've been able to really run at top speed and cover people while feeling good playing football."
